So, I wrote a book! This has been a project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half and I’m so excited that it’s finally ready to be seen. The book is called “Becoming a Backpack Hunter: A Beginner’s Guide to Hunting the Backcountry.” From the title, I’m sure you can gather what it’s about, but let me give you the skinny on it and why I decided to write this in the first place.

Josh Kirchner, creator of the blog Dialed in Hunter and author of the book Becoming a Backpack Hunter: A Beginner's Guide to Hunting the Backcountry.

When I first dove into the world of backpack hunting, I’m not gonna lie, it was pretty intimidating. So many things seemed unreachable. There were questions that I had that needed answering. As I was going through that process, I could understand why someone might turn their nose up to this whole thing early on. It’s a lot to swallow.

It took me years of acquiring gear and information before going on my first backpack hunt. I decided that I wanted to extend a hand to the folks that were just getting into this stuff. Folks that are just like I was when I started. I wanted to give it to them, not from the perspective of an expert, but from the perspective of someone that was where they were not long ago. This was all due to you guys and gals over the years asking me questions about backpack hunting. Through that, it reminded me of the struggles I went through in the beginning.

Who is the Book “Becoming a Backpack Hunter” For?

So, while after writing this book, I feel extremely proud of doing so, this book is for YOU. It’s for the person that’s been kicking around the idea of learning how to backpack hunt, but hasn’t started yet. It’s for the person that may have dipped their feet in the water, but have not jumped fully in. If that sounds like you, I think you’ll like what is inside the book. From a person not knowing if they even want to backpack hunt, all the way to packing an animal out back to the vehicle, it’s in there, along with everything in between. It’s what I believe to be a one stop shop for a beginner backpack hunter.
